this is probably going to get me loads of abuse but after reading the owen article yesterday from the times which (I thought was complete rubbish by the way)got me thinking I also read ian rush's column and he said he knew owen was genuinly gutted and upset by the reaction he got and when someone like rush says that then you have to start listening.Did anyone read the column by the way ?

 

can we as in liverpool fans forgive and forget ?

are we bitter?

can we take criticism of any shape or form from anyone in the media ?

 

opinions please .

 

I'll tell you for why , owen example

 

okay owen messed us around on his contract ,isn't that between him and the board though? none of us where party to what went on exactly so why can we be so harsh on the lad ,surely owen should have got ignored and not booed by even one single person ?

 

I know I am not making myself clear cos I am rubbish at expressing myself ,but the owen situation just got me thinking of different scenerios I actually know some people who hate owen's guts becos of the manner of his departure but its not like the lad left for manchester united although if they ever came in for him I don't think he would think twice about it now .

 

 

what would owen have to do exactly to be "forgiven" ? even if he came out and did a public adress and said "I want to join liverpool football club and I am sorry for the way I departed and I'll pay the club back all the mone they missed out on " I honestly don't think the people who dislike him now would be pacified ,its a strange situation in some ways . He couldn't even buy the fans affection if he wanted to.

 

he didn't walk out on us for free like Mcmanaman ,he didn't cause the club any problems when he was here eg dragging our name through the mud ,he had success at a young age and never went off the rails ,he moved abroad when he left ,he scored us loads of goals and he won us the FA cup .

 

to me the main reason is hurt not even at the way he left but becos he left at all even if people won't admit it . Players have a completely different attitude to the fans that we can't relate to in many ways ,they can switch their childhood allegiances eg carragher from everton to liverpool ,most would celebrate against the team they used to play for or even support with glee eg rooney .The fans thinking is "After all how could any player leave our great club and think there is better out there" ?? or another example gerrard nearly going to chelsea ,his transfer would have brought in 35 million quid ,he wouldn't have left us f***ed financailly like owen supposedly did but he would have been despised .

 

Players are like a different breed ,to them football is a game and their job to us it can be our life and reason to exist ,how can you bridge that ?

 

its not like there is a leaving of liverpool manual out there ,can a player ever do right for doing wrong ?

 

Owen is surely doing his time and being punished enough at newcastle ,even if he did come back next year what reception would he get ,would he be accepted like gerrard has into the fold ,could he ever be loved by the fans .

 

 

oh well I'll just get me coat now :unsure:
